Overview The VP, Credit Process Execution Management strengthens execution discipline, clarity, and continuity across Credit Governance initiatives. This role ensures that audit, regulatory, policy, and process-related efforts move forward with deliberate prioritization — especially where ownership spans multiple teams, timelines shift, or initiatives risk stalling without clear decisions. Operating as a senior execution partner, this role translates governance intent into structured, actionable pathways. It acts as a stabilizing force across initiatives by organizing ambiguity, surfacing decision points, identifying risks early, and preventing silent deprioritization. The role complements—but does not duplicate—DMI, IT, Reporting, PMO, or credit governance decision-making functions. As the Credit Governance function scales, this role may expand in scope to provide additional execution capacity and leadership visibility. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape how the bank executes governance-related work at scale. The successful candidate will influence cross-bank decision making, bring structure around complex initiatives, and strengthen execution predictability in a function that is growing in both scope and strategic importance. Responsibilities Execution Continuity & Governance Tracking Maintain a centralized, accurate view of Credit Governance initiatives (policy updates, audit/regulatory remediation, system enhancements, self-identified issues, and process improvements). Ensure clear scope, ownership, milestones, dependencies, and paths to closure or decision. Monitor for execution drift, unclear handoffs, stalled workstreams, or deprioritized tasks; proactively re-establish momentum or escalate when needed. Surface risks, trade-offs, and decision needs to appropriate owners and leadership in a timely, structured manner. Support transparent prioritization across BAU, remediation, and forward-looking initiatives to protect governance integrity and resource allocation. Business Analysis & Cross-Functional Execution Translate governance objectives into structured problem statements, execution frameworks, and high-level requirements. Identify ambiguities, gaps, dependencies, and rework risks early in the initiative lifecycle. Document current-state and future-state processes, scope assumptions, decision logs, and acceptance criteria. Coordinate across DMI, IT, Reporting, Operations, Senior Credit Supervision, and other key stakeholders to align ownership, scope, expectations, and sequencing Validate outputs against governance intent; escalate misalignment, capacity constraints, or dependency risks. Facilitate targeted working sessions to resolve scope, ownership, dependency, or decision gaps when initiatives risk stalling Ensure accountable owners remain responsible for execution and delivery; escalate when ownership or capacity constraints prevent progress May perform other duties as assigned Qualifications Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience is required. 8-12 years of experience in banking, credit risk, governance, audit, compliance, operations, or related functions. 4-6 years of hands-on Business Analyst or execution-focused experience, including requirements structuring and issue remediation. Working understanding of credit or credit risk concepts sufficient to operate independently and exercise sound judgment. SQL familiarity required (ability to read queries, make light modifications, validate data for analysis/testing). Advanced Excel proficiency; strong PowerPoint and written communication skills. Demonstrated ability to operate independently, structure ambiguity, and manage multiple cross-functional initiatives. Proven ability to partner effectively with IT, Reporting, Operations, and Credit stakeholders. Experience in audit, regulatory, or control-driven environments preferred. Highly organized, proactive, and adaptable, with strong judgment and escalation instincts. Effective time‑management and prioritization skills in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.
